March 21, 1908 



LENOX HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



The annual Rose and Carnation 

 night was held March 7th in the socie- 

 ty's rooms, and was the most success- 

 ful ever held. Some sixty vases were 

 shown of the leading varieties and the 

 quality was very high. In the various 

 carnation colors Beacon seemed to be 

 ihe most popular si-arlet, Winsor in 

 pink, White Perfection and White En- 

 chantress in white. Pink Imperial in 

 dark pink and Enchantress in light 

 pink; Mrs. Patten as a variegated out- 

 classed Variegated Lawson and Harlo- 

 warden as a crimson showed strongest 

 among the older varieties. The new 

 crimson, Harvard, shown by J. D. 

 Cockcrolt, as well as Wanoka, exhibit- 

 ed by Wanoka Greenhouses, were much 

 admired and were given highest award. 



A splendid vase of gardenias was 

 shown by F. Heeremans, whose success 

 with them has been far above the 

 average. Stocks cut from four-inch 

 pots running from 2 1-2 feet to 3 1-2 

 in length were shown by A. H. Wln- 

 g'ett, the varieties being Queen 

 Alexantiici, Bei^uty of Nice and Prin- 

 cess Alice. A bunch of 300 Princess 

 of Wales violets of unsurpassed quality 

 was shown by F. Heeremans. Bos- 

 ton violet sent by Wm. Sim unfortun- 

 ately arrived in very poor condition. 

 Roses were exhibited by A. H. Win- 

 gett and F. Heeremans. Also a sal- 

 mon-pink sport of Beacon carnation by 

 the former.
